The Advanced Modules

We offer a number of Advanced Modules that are completely optional to purchase and are for students of our Diploma course only (they are not open to the general public), who wish to learn more about specific Interior Design fields. These Advanced Modules are separate from the 12 module diploma course and are not included in the standard course fees.

The Advanced Modules are only available to be purchased by students who have completed the first two assignments of the course successfully.

The Institute will allow you an extra 6 months to complete the Diploma course and Advanced Module upon purchase of any Advanced Module.

As each Advanced Module is only one module and one assignment, there are no refunds on these purchases or payment via instalments.

Subject to successful completion of the advanced assignments, The Institute will issue you with a Certificate of Achievement for completion of any Advanced Module. These certificates will only be available by downloading them from the student site and there will be no option for them to be sent to you.
